Does God exist??

You don't have to support your opinion if you do not want to, I would just like to get a general idea.

EDIT: A reoccuring theme that I've seen here is people who claim proof. Remember nobody can prove God does or does not exist.

I believe that faith is "Believeing in God without proof"

Why no option in the poll for us agnostics?gobo212

Agnostics don't that it cannot ever be known whether there is a god or not. It cannot be proven so we take a neutral stance. We don't assert either option as a truth.

As such, I will not be voting. My belief is that even if there was a god, he is so far beyond human comprehension that everything earthly that we have written, spoken, or even believed about him is grossly misconstrued.

I am agnostic. I believe that such questions are inherently unknowable. It is possible God exists and it's possible God doesn't exist. Such metaphysical qustions can't be answered by us physical beings. Anyone who "knows" one way or the other is a fool or a con artist.

To agnostic persons: That seems like you are dodging the question, why couldn't he exist and still be beyond human comprehension? I don't think anybody claims to "know" as in they have proof, it's more like a gut feeling, as I said in my edit of the original post: No one can prove either way.blackngold29

Why should I base my life off of things like "gut feelings?"gobo212

We aren't trying to dodge the question. You're just trying to condense all the possible answers to such a complex and loaded question into it's two extremes.

I sometimes get feelings that my experiences and the events in my life are carefully crafted and planned by some higher entity but that feeling is not enough throw logic out the window and put my faith in it.

I see all the wheels and gears turn in the laws of physics and life but that doesn't stop from thinking about the possiblity that some great engineer is orchestrating all this.

Your poll options try to seperate us into two categories. People who have faith in a higher power and people who are sure they can refute the existance of said power.

We are neither and our feelings are not even remotely strong enough to support either side.

What does that have to do with metaphysics?

The world is flat according to general relativity.

It just exists in curved space-time. (I think, I could just be making it up)

In my opinion God is just about as realistic as Superman.CreepingDeath_

Then my argument is God exists but not as a real guy or thing or spirit or whatever.

Personally I don't know... I will concede that absolute knowledge about the existance of God is completely unknowable... Agnostic Atheism for the win!MattUD1

I guess it is. But I don't believe in God.

I dont really care if there is a deity or not. If there is one, it isn't concerned enough about my actions to intervene. I should live my life to my own benefit because I'm not getting help from anyone else and am ultimately responsible for my actions.

If there is no deity then I should live my life to my own benefit because no one else has the ability to do it and I am ultimately responsible for my actions.

I don't think God exists but I'm still kind of agnostic. I think that the whole question of agnosticism does not really relate to what your belief on it is though.quiglythegreat
